Ruffles and frills is not something new to the fashion world. This trend has been around since the 16th century but it continues to make a major comeback!

I’m here for this trend and these amazing statement pieces. I decided to pair a striped ruffled shirt from Zara with these distressed jeans also from Zara. I LOVE these jeans from Zara, amazing details!

I felt the shirt was a little too big although it was a small (no x-small were available) but I tried to make it work. As it gets a little cooler (currently in 90 degree Fl ) , I will try to mix and match with other items.

I’m always looking for the best deal! This shirt was under $30 and the jeans were $40.

I came across this article while strolling Twitter! I never knew this existed.

I wanted to share with you this cute dress I purchased at Zara a few weeks ago. When I first saw the dress I thought – so simple but cute! I’m such a huge fan of black but often times I like to mix a little color in there. This dress is perfect for the office, happy hour or dinner. Oh and did I mention comfy! It’s cotton material so not too thick and the sleeves are open so it’s cool as well.

Hope this provides a little outfit inspiration and some encouragement to take fashion risk!

Like most women, I’m constantly balancing work, gym, hobbies and so many other things we have going. I always find myself looking for the perfect go to bag to help balance everything.

Black leather bags have always been my favorite and I see most many women carry them as well. I started to think why leather? Well, it’s durable, timeless and most importantly can be carried on a day to day without ruining the quality! With so many styles and variations, a nice leather bag can complete your outfit and give so much confidence. My personal favorite is the classic tote.

For the past month, I’ve carried this black Women’s Work Tote Handbag by Merona from Target which I absolutely love. It’s big enough to fit my laptop which is my favorite but I can also carry my makeup case and a pair of flats for those long days! 🙂

Yes ladies, I know it’s hot in the summer! Black is my favorite color to wear and I tend to gravitate towards items that are black when I’m shopping…black dress is #1! Wearing black makes me feel confident, it’s sleek and sophisticated.

In my opinion, fashion is about wearing what you want when you want. I’ve made the decision to wear black in the summer!

I came across the amazing jumpsuit from Zara that I absolutely loved! I paired it with a white heel from Zara and added a black belt to it as well. The jumpsuit is VERY flared and almost to the point where I have to watch my step! LoL

We’re a little under a week away from celebrating America’s independence. While it’s not on most people’s list to be the most stylish for this occasion but if you’re like me, you still want to be cute! 🙂 Which is why I wanted to share this cute, easy and inexpensive outfit inspo with you! I went to some of my favorite stores – Urban Outfitters and Forever21.

Do you have any old scarves in a drawer somewhere? Well, I’m certainly about recycling old items and making them useful for new looks!

I was getting ready to go out and couldn’t figure out anything to do with my hair. It’s summer, humid and rainy here in Florida and my hair was not cooperating. Do you ladies ever have those days?

I started to go through my “don’t know what do with this” drawer and came across this old scarf that I had from years ago and decided to refurbish into a head band. I actually loved the way it looked and wanted to share with you!

Headbands have definitely been a trend for the past few years – dressy, casual and even for working out. Celebrities are even wearing head bands to award shows! Festival season is around the corner ladies – don’t be afraid to throw on a cute headband! 🙂

Deal or no deal!? I’m always asking myself this whenever I’m about to purchase anything that I don’t necessarily need! If you’re like me, I refuse to pay full price for anything knowing that in a few weeks or so it will be on sale. 🙂

I wanted to share with you the top deals I’ve seen this week from some of my favorite stores! I hope this helps with your shopping. 🙂

Father’s day is approaching (exactly one week) and if you’re like me you’re always scrabbling to find last minute gifts. I came across these great inexpensive items and wanted to share….Enjoy!!! 🙂
